Human trafficking is the fastest growing criminal activity, either as a transnational organized crime globally, or as a prevalent crime and societal problem within each domestic jurisdiction. Interest in dealing with the activity has accompanied the phenomenon at the local, national, and global level by public and private institutions alike. Criminalization of such activity has found its expression in domestic, international, and transnational law. Court jurisprudence is also abundant. Training and education have been mandated for law enforcement, medical professionals, social services, educators, counselors, and additional professions. Educational institutions at all levels, on their own initiative, have also given precedence at various degrees to raising awareness about human trafficking, and training and educating their students and staff. However, there is still a need for learning to be mainstreamed. In this panel discussion, we invite the audience to listen and participate in the dialogue by a panel of experts on incorporating the teaching about human trafficking in higher education, and specifically in law schools.
This event is free and open to the public with registration. Lunch will be served. Space is limited.
